Inman: 49ers’ Ricky Pearsall still a ‘competitor’ amid 3-game catch drought

SANTA CLARA – NFL wide receivers, especially those notoriously drafted in the first round, might throw a hissy fit if they went three straight games without a catch. Ricky Pearsall’s perspective is unique. Of course. Three months ago, he survived a gunshot wound through his chest. Three games without a reception? His death-defying experience, from that Aug. 31 attempted robbery in San Francisco’s Union Square, casts things in a brighter light. “It definitely does, because at the end of the day, there is more to life,” Pearsall said in an exclusive interview Wednesday in the 49ers’ locker room. “You know, having an experience like that, it’s just a little more of an awakening.” That’s not to say Pearsall is content about a three-game drought that coincides with a three-game losing streak by the last-place 49ers (5-7). He is not discouraged going into Sunday’s home game against the Chicago Bears (4-8). Five regular-season games left, and rather than succumb to statistical odds, it’s imperative they pump up Pearsall, knowing full well that No. 1 wideout Brandon Aiyuk’s knee may not be ready until the 2025 season

(KFSN) — California stands defiant as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House. “Let me be clear, President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda is draconian and his rhetoric, xenophobic,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. The democrat spoke Wednesday morning about his efforts to protect the rights of immigrants and their families in the state. “We’re issuing updated policies to guide institutions and their staff in complying with California law limiting state and local participation in immigration enforcement activities,” said Bonta. Bonta held his press conference in a public library in San Francisco, one of the institutions included in the updated guidance. The policies are based on SB-54, which was passed in 2017 and limits the information state institutions and agencies can share with the federal government for immigration enforcement. Immigrants are bracing for the incoming administration too. “People are nervous, anxious. They want to make sure they have their status firmly set and all their papers together. If there’s anything more they

NEW YORK — Police appear to be closing in on an identity of the man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, sources told ABC News on Thursday.
